No, not much into betting or gambling.
North Alabama is being left out of most of the gaming. Birmingham will get a site and Jackson County may get a site.
Trying to attract Nashville or Atlanta citzens must not have crossed the minds of our legislative members?
Must still pass the Senate and Im sure more changes will come and probably should as the bill passes today will pretty much hand over all gaming revenue to the Poarch Tribe.

Sports gambling is a suckers bet, invented for people with the sickness and or too much money. There is 6 sites for Alabama including one in north Alabama or bham. However a seventh site that is to be in north Alabama is set aside for the porch creek indians. I agree with gem, ignoring Atlanta/Ga gambling money is foolish. An ideal location for a casino would be a long I-20 in Cleburne county half way between Atlanta and Bham. A much better location than Bham itself. |

Probably 65-70% of Alabama's population is Birmingham metro north?

No interest. The house always wins.

Probably 65-70% of Alabama's population is Birmingham metro north? Huntsville is now the largest city in Alabama and the fastest growing. This whole gambling bill stinks of corruption, and cronyism. If done correctly there would be obvious signs of strategic locations and planning, instead the bulk is to be located across the southern part of the state as to oversaturate the market area. |

I live in Michigan, have bet on sports. Never bet on a JSU game. Probably never will.

I don't gamble, beyond the occasional friendly wager, and those are rare and often don't involve actual money.
I'm a Southern Baptist, but I'll freely tell anyone who wants to know: this has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with me hating to see my money go away for something stupid with only a small chance of getting something out of it. If I'm going to spend money, at least let me get some good food or something for my trouble.

I am a grown man. If I want to go play table games or bet on the Braves (or Jax State) game, I should be able to. That said, I'm not a big gambler myself. Blew about $100 gambling in Vegas once, and that's about it. Spent a lot more on other stuff though!
If you think for one moment the reason class 3 gaming is still illegal in Alabama is because legislators are morally opposed, you're wrong. Sure, there are true believers who are sincere, but not enough to actually stop it. It is because we have federally recognized Indian tribes here, and the only way to keep them from operating a full on casino is to have it be illegal. What we have now is electronic bingo using a slot machine like interface.
Bottom line, Poarch Creeks spend a lot of money to keep the status quo, and our representatives are unable to agree on how best to distribute licenses (perpetrate grift and fraud), so we've been stuck with what we have.
I assure you the tribe is WAY ahead of anyone else, and will have a craps table out on the floor 5 min after Ivey signs the bill into law.
It is also legal in Alabama to have a proper title to your threads instead of the first half of a sentence 😀.

"Baptists" usually get the blame, but the tribes are why we don't have a lottery in Alabama. Well, them, and the gambling interests in our bordering states who DO have active lotteries, who realize how deeply a lottery in Alabama would cut into their bottom line. Alabamians have paid to send a lot of Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida kids to college. We're so giving...  |
